Penny Harvest Schools of Excellence is an annual distinction awarded to a select group of schools that have demonstrated their commitment to and understanding of all phases of the Penny Harvest: Gathering Pennies, Making Grants and Taking Action.  

Schools of Excellence exemplify the very best of the Penny Harvest, ranging from creating a student leadership team that engages the school community and builds connections with the greater community, to creating opportunities for student leaders and other students to develop their skills and community-mindedness.

Schools of Excellence submit applications in May that are reviewed by the Common Cents New York City Advisory Board. A Penny Harvest School of Excellence is a year-long honor of ongoing recognition opportunities.

During the 2008-2009 school year, the third annual Schools of Excellence Award distinguished 35 Penny Harvest Schools as winners Click here to find who are the 35 Penny Harvest Schools of Excellence 08/09.
